Beau and Bethan: relationship overview

When the two newbies entered the Geordie Shore house, they were instantly attracted to one another.

Beau got into hot water with Bethan when he kissed both Tahlia Chung and Abbie Holborn in episode 2 (Tuesday, April 16th).

But he made amends and proved to her that he wanted to “crack on” with her and her alone the third episode.

By episode 4 (Tuesday, April 30th) Bethan’s best mate Chloe Ferry saw things were getting serious between the two:

He’s literally all over you. You and him are more all over each other than what me and Sam used to be when we first got together.

Flirting on Instagram

Instagram is a notorious spot to flirt with a potential bae… It’s where sliding into DM’s began!

But these two have not been private with their online flirtations.

Numerous comments on each other’s pictures suggested that these two are more than just friends. The comments tend to include lots of heart-eyed emojis so it would seem there is a lot of love going around!

Check out these two snaps and the cheeky comments Bethan and Beau have been leaving for each other…

So are Bethan and Beau dating?

After Bethan shared to Instagram a picture of her and Beau’s “date night” at the cinema, it would seem the couple are officially dating outside of the Geordie Shore house.

It is unconfirmed whether they got together officially during the filming or after, but their relationship is definitely going to be one of the major plot points of Geordie Shore season 19.
